(Gen 24:1 KJV) And Abraham was old,
and well stricken in age: and the LORD had
blessed Abraham in all things.

Abraham is a type of God the Father. His
great age shows the eternality of God.

(Gen 24:2
KJV) And Abraham said unto his eldest
servant of his house, that ruled over all that
he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my
thigh:

Eldest servant is a type of the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit has charge over all of the
Father’s goods.

(Gen 24:3 KJV) And I will make thee
swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the
God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a
wife unto my son of the daughters of the
Canaanites, among whom I dwell:

The wife or bride is not to come from the unsaved,
but from among God’s people, the Church.

(Gen 24:4 KJV) But thou shalt go
unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a
wife unto my son Isaac.

The Hebrew word for country means the whole world,
and not just one part of the world. This is
confirmation that Rebekah is a type of the bride
of Christ who comes from the Church, and not
Israel. The word for kindred means
offspring, or the children of God. The bride
for Isaac, a type of Jesus, was to come from God’s
children, the Church, and the Church comes from
the whole world.

(Gen 24:5 KJV) And the servant said
unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be
willing to follow me unto this land: must I
needs bring thy son again unto the land from
whence thou camest?

It is the bride’s choice as to whether she will
follow the servant, a type of the Holy
Spirit. The bride is willing to go to a new
land (i.e., heaven) and leave the world behind.

Jesus will not come back to the world to get His
bride. The bride will go to Him at His home
in heaven. This is confirmed in that Rebekah
follows the servant or Holy Spirit through the
wilderness of her own free will to go to the home
of the Bridegroom.

(Gen 24:7
KJV) The LORD God of heaven, which took
me from my father's house, and from the land
of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and
that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will
I give this land; he shall send his angel
before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto
my son from thence.

The angel that is sent first is Jesus coming to
the earth as Prophet. After this the servant
or Holy Spirit will take a bride for the Son.

(Gen 24:8 KJV) And if the woman
will not be willing to follow thee, then thou
shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not
my son thither again.

This reiterates that the bride chooses of her own
free will to follow the Holy Spirit and be the
bride of Christ.

(Gen 24:9 KJV) And the servant put
his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master,
and sware to him concerning that matter.

This confirms the importance of the mission of the
Holy Spirit to find a bride for the Son.

(Gen 24:10 KJV) And the servant
took ten camels of the camels of his master, and
departed; for all the goods of his master were
in his hand: and he arose, and went to
Mesopotamia, unto the city of Nahor.

The Holy Spirit is in charge of all of the
Master’s goods in His mission to find a bride for
the Son. Ten is the number of ordinal
completion, and represents all of what is being
discussed.

(Gen 24:11
KJV) And he made his camels to kneel
down without the city by a well of water at
the time of the evening, even the time that
women go out to draw water.

The well is a type of the Bible, the Word of
God. The root word for well is as follows:

874 ba'ar (baw-ar');

a primitive root; to dig; by analogy, to engrave;
figuratively, to explain:

The primary purpose of the Holy Spirit is to
perform the will of the Heavenly Father. The
primary purpose of the Holy Spirit in the current
Age of Grace is to find a Bride for Jesus Christ.

(Gen 24:13 KJV) Behold, I stand
here by the well of water; and the daughters of
the men of the city come out to draw water:

The Holy Spirit will find the bride from among
those who frequent the well or those who spend
time in the Word of God and draw much water from
the well. Water is a symbol or type for
cleansing. It is also a type for the Holy
Spirit. The bride will be taken from among
those who are cleansed regularly, and who are
filled with the Holy Spirit. The word for
daughters also means the “apple or pupil of the
eye.” These are the ones who are closest to
the heart of God.

(Gen 24:14 KJV) And let it come to
pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let
down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink;
and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy
camels drink also: let the same be she that thou
hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and
thereby shall I know that thou hast showed
kindness unto my master.

The bride will not only be cleansed and filled
with the Holy Spirit herself, but she will also
open the Word of God to others who will also be
cleansed and filled with the Holy Spirit.

(Gen 24:15 KJV) And it came to
pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold,
Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son
of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother,
with her pitcher upon her shoulder.

Bethuel means destroyed of God; Milcah means
queen; and Nahor means snorer or sleeper.
Thus, Rebekah, the fettered one, comes from The
destroyed of God, the Church, who is born of the
queen, the Holy Spirit, who births the Church out
of those who are spiritually dead or asleep.
Every member of the Church at some point in time
must “perish”. This is in reference to the
soul. Either we lose our life (i.e., perish
now in the Church Age) and allow the life of
Christ to live through us, or we will “perish” at
the Judgment Seat of Christ. If we do it
now, we will have tremendous rewards in our
inheritance. If we wait for Christ to do it
at the Judgment Seat of Christ, there will be loss
of reward, tribulation, and much shame and
weeping. This is how the Church can be seen
as the destroyed of God.

(Gen 24:16 KJV) And the damsel was
very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had
any man known her: and she went down to the
well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.

The word for virgin is as follows:

1330 bethuwlah (beth-oo-law');

feminine passive participle of an unused root
meaning to separate; a virgin (from her privacy);
sometimes (by continuation) a bride; also
(figuratively) a city or state:

KJV-- maid, virgin.

She was a chaste virgin, which is a symbol or type
for pure. She was undefiled by the world or
the things of the world. She went to the
Bible and filled her pitcher, a vessel that is a
type of the body. In type she was filled
with the Holy Spirit. The word for came
up means to ascend, to depart,to be taken
up. This is clearly a picture of the separation, a
departure from the earth, because of studying and
obeying the Bible and being filled with the Holy
Spirit.

(Gen 24:17 KJV) And the servant ran
to meet her, and said, Let me, I pray thee,
drink a little water of thy pitcher.

The bride will be tested by the Holy Spirit to see
if her filling or control by the Holy Spirit is
genuine. Much of the so-called filling of
the Holy Spirit today is false. The speaking
in tongues, healing, laughing uncontrollably, and
other so-called manifestations of the Spirit are
false. The manifestations of the Spirit
filled life are: love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and
self-control. The Spirit filled person does
not yield to the temptations of the world.
The Spirit filled person does not lust after
possessions. He is not led astray by the
trinkets of this world. Satan will do
everything he can to take your focus off of Jesus
and put them on the pleasures and things of this
world. Anything that a person focuses on
ahead of Jesus is an idol.

(Gen 24:18
KJV) And she said, Drink, my lord: and
she hasted, and let down her pitcher upon her
hand, and gave him drink.

The bride is willing to be tested to see if her
filling of the Spirit is legitimate. One
television minister preaches and weeps and shows
great emotion. He also speaks in tongues on
television. Yet, he has been caught with
prostitutes on at least two occasions. Each
time he is caught he exhibits a great outpouring
of repentance. Is this filling of the Spirit
legitimate? Is this true repentance?
Methinks he was truly sorry that he was
caught. Satan is doing his best to mimic the
gifts of the Spirit. The word for hand means
the open hand and it means the power, means and
direction of a person. The means of the
power of the bride is from the Holy Spirit, and
her direction is toward being obedient to the Holy
Spirit. The source of her power and the
direction of her power will test out as pure gold.

(Gen 24:19
KJV) And when she had done giving him
drink, she said, I will draw water for thy
camels also, until they have done drinking.

The bride also draws water and provides for the
filling of the servants of God. These are
our fellow Christians. The bride will
continue to provide water as long as the camels
will drink. Unfortunately, most Christians
today have a distaste for the water of the Word of
God, and they drink very little. The bride
is willing and able to provide the water from the
well, but she cannot make the camels drink.

(Gen 24:20 KJV) And she hasted, and
emptied her pitcher into the trough, and ran
again unto the well to draw water, and drew for
all his camels.

The bride is willing to draw water for all of the
camels. She is not constrained to one
denomination or to one class of camels. She
will provide water to any of the camels that are
willing to drink.

(Gen 24:21 KJV) And the man
wondering at her held his peace, to wit whether
the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.

The Holy Spirit observes those who go to the well
and provide water for the brethren, but he must
wait to see if the ones who are doing this
continue in the faith. Many Christians do
this for a period of time, but then they fall away
and become enamored with the things of this world,
and they cease to read and study their
Bibles. The Holy Spirit observes to see who
will continue in the faith. The requirement
is that the Bride must continue in good works
until the end, which is death or rapture.

(Gen 24:22 KJV) And it came to
pass, as the camels had done drinking, that the
man took a golden earring of half a shekel
weight, and two bracelets for her hands of ten
shekels weight of gold;

As the bride finishes her work she becomes a
bondslave to God. The earring is typical of
the bondslave who has his ear pierced to show his
ownership by the master. The hands are a
type or symbol of our works. The golden
bracelets depict the work of the bride as being
pure and undefiled. The works of the bride
are gold, silver, precious stones, and not wood,
hay, and stubble. The word for half a shekel
for the golden earring means gold that is
separated. This is a clear picture of the
bride being rewarded at the time of the
separation, and becoming the bondslave, or bride
of Christ.

(Gen 24:23 KJV) And said, Whose
daughter art thou? tell me, I pray thee: is
there room in thy father's house for us to lodge
in?

After the separation, the Father’s house is still
the Church, and the question is posed will there
be room for the Holy Spirit to dwell or lodge or
settle down and be comfortable.

(Gen 24:24 KJV) And she said unto
him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of
Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.

Bethuel means destroyed of God; Milcah means
queen; and Nahor means snorer or sleeper.
Thus, Rebekah, the fettered one, comes from The
destroyed of God, the Church, who is born of the
queen, the Holy Spirit, who births the Church out
of those who are spiritually dead or asleep.

(Gen 24:25 KJV) She said moreover
unto him, We have both straw and provender
enough, and room to lodge in.

Straw is threshed grain, and provender is an
inferior food for livestock. Thus, after the
separation when the good grain has been taken to
heaven, there will be left the straw that has been
threshed, and an inferior form of food left for
the Church. The room to dwell in pictures a
place in the Church for the Holy Spirit to dwell
in after the separation.

(Gen 24:26
KJV) And the man bowed down his head,
and worshipped the LORD.

The word for bowed down means to shrivel up and
worshipped means to comply in obedience.
This is a picture of the Holy Spirit withdrawing
his restraining influence from the world in
obedience to the Father.

(Gen 24:27 KJV) And he said,
Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham,
who hath not left destitute my master of his
mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the
LORD led me to the house of my master's
brethren.

The Holy Spirit’s mission has been blessed with
success, having been guided to the house, the
Church, of the Master’s (i.e., Jesus’) brethren,
the Jews.

(Gen 24:28 KJV) And the damsel ran,
and told them of her mother's house these
things.

The bride hastens to tell those of the household
of faith, the Church, about the bride, the
rewards, the separation, and the work of the Holy
Spirit in taking out of the Church a bride for
Jesus Christ.

(Gen 24:29 KJV) And Rebekah had a
brother, and his name was Laban: and Laban ran
out unto the man, unto the well.

Laban means to be made white. After the
separation, the bride’s brethren, the remainder of
the Church will be cleansed of their sins, and
they will seek out the Holy Spirit at the well,
which is the Bible or the Word of God.

(Gen 24:30 KJV) And it came to
pass, when he saw the earring and bracelets upon
his sister's hands, and when he heard the words
of Rebekah his sister, saying, Thus spake the
man unto me; that he came unto the man; and,
behold, he stood by the camels at the well.

When Laban, the remainder of the Church, sees the
reward that Rebekah received in being the
bondslave or bride of Christ, they will unify
(i.e., stand by) with the other members of the
Church through the study of the Bible. The
gold earring represents Rebecca as a bondslave to
Christ. The gold bracelet represents rewards
for her works. The hands are symbolic of
work. The camels represent the burden
bearers or workers in the Church. The camel
drinks a lot of water until he is filled.
Thus, camels represent Christian workers who are
filled with the Spirit The well is a type of
the Bible, and the water is a type of the Holy
Spirit and cleansing.

(Gen 24:31
KJV) And he said, Come in, thou blessed
of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without
(2351)? for I have prepared the house, and
room for the camels.

The remainder of the Church will invite the Lord
into their lives via the Holy Spirit. The
household of faith, the Church is now prepared,
and there is room for all of the servants of
God. The Laodicean Church will be left
behind at the separation. Jesus cautioned
the Laodiceans that he was knocking at the door
for them to invite Him in for fellowship.
During the tribulation, many in the Church will
invite Jesus into their lives. This is not
Spirit salvation, but soul salvation. The
root word for prepared means to turn, so it
represents repentance or that which is necessary
for Jesus to come into a person’s life and
fellowship with that person.

2351 chuts (khoots);

or (shortened) chuts (khoots); (both forms
feminine in the plural) from an unused root
meaning to sever; properly, separate by a wall,
i.e. outside, outdoors:

(Gen 24:32 KJV) And the man came
into the house: and he ungirded his camels, and
gave straw and provender for the camels, and
water to wash his feet, and the men's feet that
were with him.

The word for came into means to
abide. This means that the Holy Spirit is
now able to come into these lives and settle down
and be comfortable. He is able to feel at
home. The word for ungird means to
loosen, set free, carve or grave (i.e.,
engrave). This means the steward (Laban) of
the house began to help shape or form the
lives of these believers who were now working for
the Lord and filled with the Spirit. He also
began to provide food amidst tribulation (i.e.,
straw and provender) for the household of
faith. The straw is typical of tribulation
(i.e., tribulation), and the provender is typical
of food that is nourishing. The heads of the
Church are not currently feeding the flock, but
they will begin to do this doing the tribulation
after the bride has been rewarded. This
feeding of the flock will take place among the
tribulation. The members of the Church will
also begin to have their feet washed, which is
typical of repentance and the forgiveness of sins.

(Gen 24:33
KJV) And there was set meat before him
to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I
have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.

The meal or food to eat is a type of the wedding
feast, but the wedding feast cannot commence until
the Holy Spirit has completed his work.

(Gen 24:34 KJV) And he said, I am
Abraham's servant.

The Holy Spirit begins to teach the remainder of
the Church the deeper truths about the seeking out
a bride for Jesus Christ, and how it was to be
taken out from among the people of God. Most
of the Church do not understand this as yet, but
they will come to understand it during the
tribulation period. Now the text will go
back and provide details of the Holy Spirit’s
quest for a bride for Jesus Christ. This
follows the Semitic style of apocalyptic
writing. First, an overview is given, and
then details are provided.

(Gen 24:35
KJV) And the LORD hath blessed my master
greatly; and he is become great: and he hath
given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and
gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and
camels, and asses.

The Holy Spirit begins to teach about God the
Father, and His wealth. In truth everything
in the universe belongs to God. Based on the
root words of the above list, it appears that the
flocks represent the heavenly recipients of the
kingdom, the Church, and the herds represent the
earthly people of the kingdom, saved Jews and
Gentiles. Silver represents the blood
atonement of Jesus or his human nature, and the
gold represents His deity, or His divine
nature. The menservants represent those in
the highest level of the kingdom of the heavens
(i.e., the four living creatures), while the
maidservants represent those in the second level
of the kingdom of the heavens (i.e., the 24
elders). The camels represent the servants
during the tribulation period who are workers
(i.e., burden bearers) who are filled with the
Holy Spirit (i.e., hold a lot of water to the
point of being filled). The word for asses
means to be red, but the root word means to be
covered with pitch or bitumen. Red typifies
the blood of Christ, and the pitch is a type for
the atonement for our sins. Thus, the asses
would represent those who were saved or atoned for
by the blood of Christ, but no works followed.

(Gen 24:36
KJV) And Sarah my master's wife bare a
son to my master when she was old: and unto
him hath he given all that he hath.

Sarah would be a type of Israel, God’s wife.
It was from Israel that Jesus Christ was
born. His parents were both Jews in the line
of King David of Israel. Israel was a very
old 2000 years when Jesus Christ was born.
America is a little over 200 years old.
Israel will be 4000 years old when Jesus returns
in power and glory. Jesus Christ has
received all that belongs to the Father. His
mission 2000 years ago was successful, and the
Father has bestowed all of His goods upon the
Son. The book of Revelation describes the
glorification of Jesus Christ, and the fact that
all judgment has been given unto Him.

(Gen 24:37 KJV) And my master made
me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to
my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in
whose land I dwell:

In describing detail, the Holy Spirit was not to
take a bride out of the unsaved, but from among
the saved, or the Church. The Holy Spirit
came to earth at Pentecost as the Comforter, and
He has dwelled in the Church in the midst of
Satan’s kingdom ever since that time.

The house is the household of faith
during the current time, which is the
Church. Israel has been set aside, and the
Church has been offered the kingdom of the
heavens. The word for kindred means
family. The family of God during the current
age is the Church, which consists of His sons and
daughters. The word take also means to win
or secure.

(Gen 24:39 KJV) And I said unto my
master, Peradventure the woman will not follow
me.

This verse reiterates that it is up to the person
whether he or she will follow the leading of the
Holy Spirit in anticipation of becoming the bride
of Christ. This is in direct contrast to the
born again experience, which depends upon the will
of the Holy Spirit. A person is not
spiritually regenerated by his own will, but he
does choose whether he is willing to follow the
Holy Spirit, which is necessary for becoming the
bride of Christ. Spirit salvation is
described in the following verse:

(John 1:13 KJV) Which were born,
not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor
of the will of man, but of God.

(Gen 24:40 KJV) And he said unto
me, The LORD, before whom I walk, will send his
angel (4397) with thee, and prosper thy way; and
thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred,
and of my father's house:

The Angel here typifies Jesus Christ indwelling us
via the Holy Spirit. Christ can only indwell
us and live His live in us if we are
willing. Jesus indwelling us will prosper
the taking out of a bride. This is confirmed
by the following verses:

(Col 1:27 KJV) To whom God would
make known what is the riches of the glory of
this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ
in you, the hope of glory:

(Col 1:28 KJV) Whom we preach,
warning every man, and teaching every man in all
wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in
Christ Jesus:

(Col 1:29
KJV) Whereunto I also labour, striving
according to his working, which worketh in me
mightily.

The reason Christ living His life in a person can
prosper the work of the Holy Spirit is that person
will be an effective witness to the truths of the
Word of God. A person who has Christ living
in him will tell others about being the bride of
Christ, and others will start living their lives
with Christ in them. This will prosper and
add to the number who will be part of the bride of
Christ. All Christians are in Christ, but
not all Christians have Christ in them.
Christ is only able to live His life in us when we
allow ourselves to be filled or controlled by the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit indwells all
Christians, but the life of Christ is not lived
out in all Christians. The Christian must
put off the old man and put on the new man for
this to happen.

4397 mal'ak (mal-awk');

from an unused root meaning to despatch as a
deputy; a messenger; specifically, of God, i.e. an
angel (also a prophet, priest or teacher):

KJV-- ambassador, angel, king, messenger.

(Gen 24:41 KJV)
Then shalt thou be clear from this my oath,
when thou comest (935) to my kindred; and if
they give (5414) not thee one, thou shalt be
clear from my oath.

This verse again reiterates that the burden for
being a part of the bride is placed upon the
individual, and not upon the Holy Spirit.
This verse states simply “when you enter in to my
family, and they do not yield to you, you will be
free from your oath to seek out a bride for my
son.”

(Gen 24:42 KJV) And I came this day
unto the well, and said, O LORD God of my master
Abraham, if now thou do prosper my way which I
go:

In seeking a bride, the Holy Spirit comes to those
who frequent the well (i.e., the Bible).
Those who frequent the well will prosper the way
of the Holy Spirit by bringing others to draw from
the well. Those in the Church who study the
Bible will teach others how to study the Bible,
and some of these will become part of the
bride. Thus, the “way” or assignment of the
Holy Spirit will be prospered.

(Gen 24:43
KJV) Behold, I stand by the well of
water; and it shall come to pass, that when
the virgin cometh forth to draw water, and I
say to her, Give me, I pray thee, a little
water of thy pitcher to drink;

“Stand” means to establish, so the Holy Spirit
establishes Himself by the Word of God to see who
will come to draw. When a virgin (i.e., a
saved and undefiled person) comes to the Word, the
Holy Spirit challenges them to allow Him to deepen
their pitcher to be able to hold more water.
Another meaning of “I say” is to challenge.
The deeper meaning of “Give me” is allow me to
influence, and the word pitcher comes from a word
that means to deepen. Thus, figuratively, we
have the Holy Spirit challenging the virgin to
allow Him to influence her life so that her
pitcher or vessel (i.e., your body) can become
deeper so that it will hold more water, or be
influenced more and more by the Holy Spirit.

(Gen 24:44 KJV) And she say to me,
Both drink thou, and I will also draw for thy
camels: let the same be the woman whom the LORD
hath appointed (3198) out for my master's son.

The virgin agrees to the influence, and offers the
same for the camels (i.e., other Christians who
work for the Lord) who are willing to drink or be
influenced by the Holy Spirit. The virgin
who is willing to be influenced by the Holy
Spirit, and who is willing to draw water for other
Christians who are willing to be influenced by the
Holy Spirit is the one who has been “appointed” as
the bride of Christ. The word for
“appointed” is as follows:

Thus, the one who is to be the bride is the one
who has decided she wants to be the bride, been
justified by works, convicted of sin, chastened by
the Lord, convinced of the truth of the Word, and
been corrected, rebuked, and reproved by the
Father. This verse says a lot about who will
be the bride of Christ.

(Gen 24:45
KJV) And before I had done speaking in
mine heart, behold, Rebekah came forth (3318)
with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went
down unto the well, and drew water: and I said
unto her, Let me drink, I pray thee.

The Holy Spirit speaks in a still small voice, and
we hear Him with our hearts. The pitcher is
a type of our bodies, a vessel to be filled by the
Holy Spirit. The shoulder is a type of works
that are ordained for us the do. It is work
to go to the well and draw water. It is work
to study the Bible and find out what it has to say
about how we should live. The bride hears
the voice of the Holy Spirit, and immediately sets
out to do the work that the Holy Spirit has for
her to do. The deeper meaning of came forth
is to go forth with purpose or for a result.
That purpose pertains to the Word of God (i.e.,
the well) and the drawing of water for others to
be filled with the Spirit.

(Gen 24:46
KJV) And she made haste, and let down
her pitcher from her shoulder, and said,
Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also:
so I drank, and she made the camels drink
also.

The Hebrew word for made haste is the be carried
headlong, swiftly, suddenly, soon, etc. This
appears to be the time of the separation.
This verse repeats what took place earlier, but it
is added that she let down her pitcher from her
shoulder. Since the pitcher is a type of our
bodies or the vessel that is to be filled with the
Spirit, and the shoulder is a type of our works or
labors, the letting down of the pitcher from the
shoulder is a picture of our works ceasing.
This will take place at the time of the separation
for the bride, and her works will be judged at the
Judgment Seat of Christ. As we have stated
on other occasions, since the bride has remained
close to the Lord and walked with Him cleansed
daily by confession of sins, there will be no
adverse judgment for the bride at the time of the
separation. This is confirmed by the
following verses:

(1 Cor 11:31 KJV) For if we would
judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

(1 Cor 11:32 KJV) But when we are
judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we
should not be condemned with the world.

(Gen 24:47 KJV) And I asked her,
and said, Whose daughter art thou? And she said,
The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom
Milcah bare unto him: and I put the earring upon
her face, and the bracelets upon her
hands.

Bethuel means destroyed of God; Nahor
means snorer or sleeper; and Milcah means queen or
feminine royalty. As stated earlier, the
bride comes out of the Church, which is destroyed
of God. The Church comes from the one who
snores or is a sleeper. In typology, a
sleeper is one who is dead. A dead person is
typical of one who is spiritually dead. The
queen birthed the Church from the sleeper or those
who are spiritually dead. In typology, the
Holy Spirit is often seen with the feminine aspect
in the Godhead. We have God the Father, God
the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who actually gives
birth to the Church. Everyone in the Church
will eventually lose their soul or life.
Thus, their lives will be lost or destroyed of
God. In summary, we have the bride or the
fettered one, who comes out of the Church or the
destroyed of God, who was birthed by the Holy
Spirit from those who were spiritually dead.
The bride receives the gold earring, which
pictures the bride as becoming a bond slave to the
Lord. She also receives the bracelets of
gold, which pictures her works that qualify as
gold, silver, and precious stones.

(Gen 24:48
KJV) And I bowed down my head, and
worshipped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God
of my master Abraham, which had led me in the
right way to take my master's brother's
daughter unto his son.

The bowing down and worshipping is a picture of
the Holy Spirit removing His restraining influence
upon the world. This will take place at the
time of the separation, when Antichrist will be
given unchecked authority upon the earth.
The Hebrew word for bowed down means to shrivel
up. The master in typology is Jesus Christ, and
the brother of Jesus Christ is the Jews. The
Church came about through the Jews. The Jews
were the first members of the Church.

(Gen 24:49 KJV) And now if ye will
deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me:
and if not, tell me; that I may turn to the
right hand, or to the left.

The Holy Spirit is now dealing with Laban, the
remainder of the Church who will be left after the
bride is taken, and the destroyed of God, the
Jews. “And now” means henceforth, or during
the time of the tribulation period. The
Hebrew words for “kindly and truly” mean with
piety towards God, and out of
trustworthiness. The remainder of the Church
and the Jews are exhorted and questioned about
their faithfulness and obedience to the Holy
Spirit. If they are not going to be
faithful, the Holy Spirit will turn away from them
to either the right hand or the left. This
seems to picture that the Holy Spirit will abide
in them, or settle down and get comfortable if
they are going to be faithful. If not, He
will turn his attention elsewhere. At the
time of the separation, numerous Christians, and
Jews will start serving the Lord faithfully.
They will be filled or controlled by the Holy
Spirit. A minority of Christians will still
not become faithful, even with the separation
having taken place. Even though indwelled by
the Holy Spirit, their lives will not reflect the
influence of the Holy Spirit.

(Gen 24:50 KJV) Then Laban and
Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth
from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or
good.

The Hebrew word for “answered” means that the
remainder of the Church (i.e., as a whole) and the
Jews heeded what the Holy Spirit said. The
matter of “taking out” (i.e., the separation)
comes from the Lord, and they are unable to attain
unto it because of both bad and good (i.e., the
lack thereof). The Hebrew words for “we
cannot” means the inability to overcome or attain
to something. The Hebrew word for speak—in a
destructive sense—means to subdue.

(Gen 24:51
KJV) Behold, Rebekah is before thee,
take her, and go, and let her be thy master's
son's wife, as the LORD hath spoken.

They state that Rebekah is accepted and she is to
be taken away to be the bride of God’s Son, Jesus
Christ, as was appointed by the Lord. There
appears to be an acknowledgment by Laban and
Bethuel that they are not qualified to leave the
earth now. This appears to be a time of
repentance and turning towards serving the Lord at
this time. The Hebrew word for before means
to please or favour, and the Hebrew word for take
means to receive or seize away.

(Gen 24:52
KJV) And it came to pass, that, when
Abraham's servant heard their words, he
worshipped the LORD, bowing himself to the
earth.

The worship is a picture of shriveling up or the
Holy Spirit withdrawing his influence upon the
earth. The word bowing is understood in the
context.

(Gen 24:53
KJV) And the servant brought forth
jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
raiment, and gave them to Rebekah: he gave
also to her brother and to her mother precious
things.

It is important to note that it is only Rachael
that receives the jewels of silver and gold and
the special raiment. The bride’s brother,
the Church, and her mother, the 144,000
Firstfruits of Israel, are given precious things,
but not silver and gold. The Hebrew word for
precious thing means fruit. Thus, they are
now bearing and exhibiting the fruit of the
spirit. The Church left on the earth will
begin to bear fruit during the tribulation period,
and so will the 144,000 Jewish Firstfruits.

(Gen 24:54
KJV) And they did eat and drink, he and
the men that were with him, and tarried all
night; and they rose up in the morning, and he
said, Send me away unto my master.

The eating and drinking is a picture of the
fellowship with the Lord that will occur after the
separation. It is important to note that
Rebekah is specifically excluded from this eating
and drinking and tarrying that night, since she
will not remain on the earth during the
tribulation period, which is frequently pictured
as being the time of the night. The Hebrew
word for men means certain ones or worthy
ones. The eating and drinking of fellowship
means the partaking of wine and bread. The
wine is a picture of cleansing from defilement,
and the bread is the Word of God. Jesus
exhorted the Laodicean Church to open the door to
Him and He would come in and “sup” with
them. The main body of the Church will do
this during the tribulation period. The
Hebrew word for rose up means to rise up in
resurrection, succeed, or be established.
The Church will literally rise up or be raptured
early in the morning just before the darkest part
of the night. The 144,000 Jewish Firstfruits
will be established because of their success in
being faithful to the Lord at the same time.
The remainder of the Jewish nation who survive the
tribulation and the Gentiles who become faithful
will also succeed and be established in the
earthly aspect of the kingdom at the morning time
when the tribulation is over. Jesus is the
morning star to the Church left on the earth, and
He is the Sun of Righteousness to the Jews and
Gentiles who survive the tribulation in
faithfulness.

(Gen 24:55
KJV) And her brother and her mother
said, Let the damsel abide with us a few days,
at the least ten; after that she shall go.

The Church and the 144,000 Jewish Firstfruits ask
that the bride abide on the earth for a complete
period of time. The complete period of time
is the end of the age of Grace in the middle of
the tribulation period when the remainder of the
Church is raptured, and the Firstfruits are
sealed. Again, the brother is the remainder
of the Church, and the mother is the Jewish
Firstfruits. The Hebrew word for after means
the hinder end +persecute. Thus, it means
after persecution.

The Holy Spirit asks not to be hindered or
delayed. His mission to obtain a bride for
the Son of the Master has been successful, and He
is ready to go. He is to take the bride and
depart before the complete time of the Age of
Grace has been completed.

7971 shalach (shaw-lakh');

a primitive root; to send away, for, or out (in a
great variety of applications):

(Gen 24:57
KJV) And they said, We will call the
damsel, and inquire at her mouth.

They question the Holy Spirit as to whether the
bride is willing to go at that particular timer or
does she desire to stay behind. This is a
picture of the Church questioning the motives of
the bride. The main body of the Church is
not ready to be taken in the separation and is not
desirous for the selective rapture or any rapture
to take place. They are caught up in the
things of the world, and they are not looking or
watching for the return of the Lord. They
apparently see the bride as having this same
attitude.

(Gen 24:58 KJV) And they called
Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with
this man? And she said, I will go.
When they inquired of Rebekah, she was ready to be
taken away to be with the bridegroom.

(Gen 24:59
KJV) And they sent away Rebekah their
sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant,
and his men.

The church releases the bride reluctantly to go
away with the Holy Spirit to be with the
Bridegroom. The nurse also goes with
her. Interestingly, a nurse is one who gives
or provides milk. There will be two groups
who make the separation. One group is those
who provide meat in due season, and the other
group is those who provide the sincere milk of the
word. This group will consist of those whose
hearts are right, and they have sincerely learned
the basic teachings of the Bible, and they have
provided this teaching to others. They have
been faithful in their walk with the Lord, even
though they have not understood the deeper
teachings of the Word of God. The Hebrew
word for “his men” means specifically a male and
it means one that is worthy. Thus, this
could be translated prophetically as certain
worthy males. This is a picture of the huios
(i.e., sons) instead of the teknon (i.e.,
children) of God. From other Scriptures, we
have two groups that make the separation.
The Bride is represented by the Four Living
Creatures in Revelation. The nurse and
certain worthy males are represented by the 24
elders in the book of Revelation. It would
be in error to say only those who provide milk or
teach will make the separation. There will
be some who are faithful in doing what they were
called to do that will make the separation, even
though they were not students of the Bible.

(Gen 24:60 KJV) And they blessed
Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou art our sister,
be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and
let thy seed possess the gate of those which
hate them.

The Hebrew word for “blessed” also means to
kneel. This is a picture of the time when
the remainder of the Church will worship the Lord
at the feet of the bride. This is seen in
Revelation 3:9. The word “mother” is not in
the original Hebrew. The literal meaning of
“thousands of millions” means the first out of a
great number. The word for thousands is aleph or the
first letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
Figuratively, it came to means thousands.
The Hebrew word for millions means a very great
number. The bride is the firstfruits of a
very great number that will be in the kingdom,
including the Jews and Gentiles who will enter the
earthly aspect of the kingdom. The Hebrew
word for “and let…possess” means to receive the
inheritance in lieu of someone else. This
clearly pictures the bride’s inheritance in the
heavenly aspect of the kingdom in lieu of Israel
receiving it. “Thy seed” means the fruit of
the bride. “The gate” is the place of
government or rulership. The ones who hate
them are the current rulers of the earth, or the
powers and principalities of the air. They
are the emissaries of Satan who rule the earth
from the atmosphere. Thus, Rebekah is the
brethren of the remainder of the Church left on
the earth, and the brethren of the 144,000 Jewish
Firstfruits, and she will receive the rulership of
the heavenly aspect of the kingdom that was
originally intended for Israel. Israel
forfeited her inheritance when she rejected the
offer of Jesus Christ to receive the
kingdom. The message of the kingdom was to
repent and be baptized, and Israel as a nation
rejected this commandment, and consequently, the
offer of the kingdom. Satan and his
emissaries have been ruling the earth for 6000
years, and they hate the prospect of the bride
taking over their position.

(Gen 24:61
KJV) And Rebekah arose, and her damsels,
and they rode upon the camels, and followed
the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and
went his way.

The Hebrew word for arose means to endure, to be
proven, to be valid, to be established.
Thus, Rebekah is tested or judged at this time and
found to be valid. Interestingly, there is
another group, “her damsels” that are tested and
found to be true and faithful at this same
time. This is in perfect harmony with
Revelation where there are two groups in heaven
around the throne of Jesus at the time of the
separation. These two groups are the four
living creatures and the 24 elders. The
bride is a type of the four living creatures, and
the damsels are a type of the 24 elders. The
Hebrew word for rode also means to cause to
plow. The word upon means on account
of. In other words, the story of Rebekah
watering the camels has resulted in the rest of
the Church to start plowing. We know that
plowing is a picture of our working for the
Lord. Jesus Himself used it as a picture of
our working for entrance into the kingdom.
The Hebrew words for “and followed” mean to walk
persecuted, and the word for “man” means
worthy. Thus, the spiritual walk of the
bride and her damsels is through persecution, but
they are found worthy. This is in accord
with the Philadelphia Church in Revelation.
They are weak and have little power in the Church
as a whole, but they are found worthy. The
word for “took” means take up the word for “went
his way” means to vanish.. This is a
description of the separation that Jesus gave at
the time of the separation. It is in the
Olivet Discourse, and Jesus said the those that
were watching would suddenly vanish even as they
stood next to other believers.

(Gen 24:62
KJV) And Isaac came from the way of the
well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south
country.

This verse means that Isaac, a type of Jesus, came
to marry in a parched and dry country by the way
of the well of the living one. Simply
stated, the bride comes to Jesus by the way of the
well of living water, even though Jesus indwells
her in a parched and dry (i.e., spiritually
lacking) country. The country is the earth,
and it is spiritually dry and parched. There
is a well that the bride went to and that well is
the Bible.

(Gen 24:63
KJV) And Isaac went out to meditate in
the field at the eventide: and he lifted up
his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels
were coming.

This verse states that in the end Jesus spoke to
the cultivated field, which is the world of
believers, and he took away or carried off those
he perceived as having spiritual faculties.
This is a picture of the midnight cry where the
whole Church awakens to the shout that Jesus is
coming, but he only takes away those who are
spiritually mature. It also states that the
camels were brought near to him. It appears
that the camels in this verse are those who were
left behind, but they became filled with the Holy
Spirit, and were brought near to Jesus in a
spiritual sense. The Hebrew word for and
went out means "in the end". The Hebrew word
for meditate means to commune with or to
speak. The word for in the field means
cultivated field. The word for at the means
to turn toward or away. Christ will turn
towards some and away from others at the time of
the separation. The word for eventide also
means night. The word for he lifted up means
to take away or to carry off. The word for
his eyes means spiritual faculties. The word
for and saw means observed, seen, perceived, or
regarded. A prophetic paraphrase of this
verse would be, At the end of the day Jesus
shouted to the Church and separated the faithful
from the unfaithful, and carried the faithful
away, and the remainder of the Church drew near to
Him.

(Gen 24:64 KJV) And Rebekah lifted
up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted
off the camel.

This verse states that Rebekah’s mental and
spiritual faculties were exalted or elevated and
she was able to perceive or have a vision of
Jesus. Consequently, she went away from, or
was separated from the camel (i.e., the remainder
of the Church on the earth), and she was exalted
to a position above them. The eyes are
frequently used for a person who has spiritual
insight.

(Gen 24:65 KJV) For she had said
unto the servant, What man is this that walketh
in the field to meet us? And the servant had
said, It is my master: therefore she took a
veil, and covered herself.

This verse states, For she said in her heart to
the Holy Spirit, ‘Whose husband is this who
spiritually walks among the Church. And the
Holy Spirit said, it is your husband, the
Lord. Therefore, she took her wedding
garment and put it on.

(Gen 24:66
KJV) And the servant told Isaac all
things that he had done.

This verse states, And the Holy Spirit related all
the works that He had done.” In context with
the preceding verse, the Holy Spirit is relaying
all of the works that he had accomplished through
the bride.

(Gen 24:67 KJV) And Isaac brought
her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took
Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved
her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's
death.

This verse states, And Jesus brought his bride
into the household that originally belonged to
Israel. And she became his wife, and He was
comforted even though Israel had failed to attain
unto the heavenly aspect of the kingdom.
